foreign policy now is right on the edge. do you support stability even if it means pulling back on the democracy and the democratically elected government that was put in place? i think it's a very tough spot. i think it's going to have big ramifications in the region, because, you know, al qaeda and the much more militant expressions of islam have always said that the muslim brotherhood is foolish. there's a deep divide between al qaeda and the muslim brotherhood. they say the muslim brotherhood believes in democracy. so i think this plays into the hand of the islamists. >> let me bring in robin one last time. what should we be focused on? as we go into the weekend, what are you paying attention to? >> i think we're all very concerned about how far this goes. one of the great problems in egypt is there's no middle ground. you have two extremes that have taken very firm positions that are not willing to compromise and that means, you know, that civil strife is more likely to continue and the great concern is whether that str
